Abstract excerpt
Expression of keratinocyte transglutaminase (TGM1) is critical for maturation of mammalian epidermis and occurs during squamous metaplasia. Examination of the TGM1 5'-flanking region in transient transfections of human epidermal cells revealed an AP1 site approximately 1.5kb upstream from the transcription start site and a CRE site approximately 0.5kb upstream that, combined, accounted for as much as 90% of the...
